Terminalia buceras (L.)C.Wright
BLACK OLIVE; OXHORN BUCIDA
**
There has been some uncertainty if this species is native (Francis 1989; Morton 1993). Early reports of it are from Elliott's Key (Sargent s.n., 19 Apr 1886, USF; Curtiss 5451, 3 Jul 1895, USF). Little, Jr. (1976) considered it non-native, noting the Elliott Key specimens were from a "grove of trees on the border of the forest near a house and a pineapple plantation."
